My RC71 and C41 keep loosing connection. For some reason the RC71 doesn't stay programmed to the C41 I have and I have to get out the old remote to turn on the box then redo the MUTE & Select on the RC71.. Any suggestions how to get this issue to not occur? Btw I have an HR44-500 and two C41's but only one C41 unprograms itself.

Next time it does this,

try pressing the mute and Enter button for a few seconds. From what I read this is supposed to Pair the remote to the receiver.

I hope that my experience may help someone else. I just got an HR44. I was able to use it with my Harmony 900 which was previously set up for an HR22, so I did not bother with the RC71. Today, I found that the RC71 either had not been programmed for my Pioneer Pro-111 FD TV at the time of installation or lost its programming after installation. Because of the Harmony, I needed the RC71 to be in IR mode, but in programming the RC71 in IR mode, it got stuck in the RF/IR loop. It was not until I programmed it in RF mode, then changed it to IR that I had success. The CSR was not of help.

Regardless of whether the HR44 is on RF or not, it always "listens" to IR commands. you can program the RC71 to b in RF while keeping Harmony on IR

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things different.
They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.

peds48: awesome! This is excellent (and, I expect, not well known at all) information. My Harmony sends IR info to the TV because, in my home, visible wires (as in a blaster to the TV) are not tolerated.

Well depends who you ask....

this "feature" has its ups and downs. in your case, it works for you.

Since the RC 65RX remote is a multi-directional remote, I can use the scan code feature but didn't work. I tried the steps above ......no response, changed the batteries-didn't work and reset receiver. This is a new remote so I shouldn't any problems with programming. I had a RC65 and it programmed without any problems but I want to use my RC65RX. It isn't the receiver (HR24) because I can turn it off/on and change channels from the front panel.

I just got a RC71. My receiver is the HR24-100. The remote will operate the receiver functions but will not let me get to the input cycles so I can program my TV, etc. On the RC71 the enter & input button are the same and the mini guide keeps coming up at the bottom of screen even after pressing and holding the enter/input for the 3 seconds. LED does not come on like it should after the press & hold. any ideas on what I am doing wrong? The remote is in IR mode and it worked with receiver as soon as I put the batteries in...

In order for the input to work, you must program a TV first. What is the make of your TV? see the attached list of codes
